Based on that logic, why don't we have separate supporters groups for every collection of people who feel themselves to be discriminated against?

The onus definitely is on people to integrate. We all come together to support City. Leave your prejudices, sensitivities, proclivities and politics at the door. I don't want to acknowledge gay, straight, bi, fucking tri ans vesite, I shag rabbits, the pope or whatever rights at a football match. I just don't care.

Can I ask, did you join in or laugh when the chant ''who's the bender in the pink?'' (or whatever the chant was when David James wore a pink shirt) - if so, then you are acknowledging sexual orientation (and in a negative way) at a game.
In the same way that Brighton fans get a right load of chants aimed at them about them all being gay because they happen to live in a town with a large gay community. Now imagine that you are a gay fan and hear that crap every other week. And that is one of the reasons why this group is forming. Plus, they may wish to pull with a like minded Blue - how many ''straight males'' have been to a supporters meeting, met a female Blue and tried to kop off?

As stated, mate, I do not care what sexual orientation, race or political position someone holds outside of supporting City when I'm supporting City. I think it should all be left outside. IMO these kinds of supporters clubs bring their own agenda of discrimination in with them and it's neither needed nor necessary.

I was thinking of forming a "Bourgeois City Supporters Group" and thought you were a natural choice to invite to join. We need as much support as we can get tbh.

I personally think that real integration, where we dont need separate groups for those who suffer discrimination, would be ideal. But the onus is definitely not on the LGBT community to integrate, and just accept the prejudice that they experience. Once all the discrimination stops then none of this will be necesarry, just like its not necesarry to have a straight supporters group.

On a totally separate subject, has David Silva ever had a girlfriend?

Probably as much as some gay supporters laughed at the fat bloke from Newcastle when the chips sold out or the get your tits out for the lads.

How exactly do you think forming a separate group will address these issues. Like I day setting a group apart from the mainstream invites discrimination. Surely it's better to remain part of the fold and fight from the inside as opposed to attacking it from the outside?

What is the world coming to

This is ridiculous!

The OP started a thread making Blues aware of a new supporters club and it's turned into something it really didn't need to. Stop wittering on about who should leave what at the door (the door to what?!) or whether adding LGBT to name is required or why a particular supporters group like this one is really needed.

It's been created and let that be the end of it. If you want to join, great and if you don't, no problem.

I don't think they are attacking anything, just forming a group for likeminded fans to meet up and socialise.

'Kinnell... This thread makes the Cellar seem absolutely PC.

Hope you have lots of success with the Group John - We're all Blues together!
